I noticed a small puddle under my truck today. Upon further investigation I noticed the power steering line was rubbing on a bolt head on the top of the steering box. Is anyone else's line this close to the top of the steering box? If it is you might want to cover it in a rubber hose or some wire loom to keep it from rubbing thru.

Took the truck to the dealer today and got the leak(s) fixed. It wasn't the ps line rubbing the bolt like I thought it was. It was a seal on the steering gear box. Also the front differential output shaft seal was leaking on the left side. I still think it would have just been a matter of time before the line rubbed thru where it was sitting. They did move the line so it isn't so close to the top of the steering gearbox now.
